professional event rider & trainer

ALEXA
THOMPSON

Rider and Trainer Alexa Thompson has competed up to the 4* level of eventing, shown in the 1.30m jumpers, and enjoys competing in many other disciplines. Alexa is one of only three US riders that has obtained all three USPC 'A' certifications-- Dressage, Show Jumping, and Eventing. Alexa has spent time training in the United States under several top riders/trainers, has been based in Ireland and France, and is mentored by 5* rider and Olympic medalist, Maxime Livio. 

Alexa has hopes of representing the U.S. on senior teams and competing at the 5* level. She also believes in giving back to the sport, and is trying to be involved in several other capacities beyond just riding. She recently accepted an apprenticeship position, and will become a National Examiner for the United States Pony Clubs.

When Alexa isn't competing herself, you can find her passionately teaching students and training horses at her family farm, Clear View Farm in Lexington, KY.
